The General overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, on Tuesday, December 16, 2014, disclosed to journalists during a press briefing that God will not allow Nigeria to break up in 2015 despite the political tension and insecurity that are imminent in the country.
He made this assertion at Eiyenkorin in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital as the church began a three-day crusade .
Kumuyi advised against utterances and acts that could divide the country, saying that God’s purpose is for Nigeria to remain united. He stated that there would be life transforming encounters with God, adding that God would lift the burden of people during the crusade according to reports.
He said, “Sometimes people misunderstood the power of prophecy and there are people who will make negative pronouncements. Pronouncements are not necessarily prophecies. Every utterance on Nigeria breaking up is a pronouncement made from observations and not prophecies.
“I believe those who made those pronouncements based on some things they see or feel should say ‘they feel Nigeria may break up’ and not that God said that. Because if God could hear the voice of only Moses and spared Israel and they still exist over 3,000 years after, then God loves Nigeria and would not allow it to break up.
“God has a purpose for Nigeria. When people talk of division, the truth is that once you start the process, it never ends. Once you say, ‘people in the North, go your way and those in the South, go your way,’ there are other people who will also rise up to say they too want to go their own way even within you.
“You know what happened in the 1960s; several sides will begin to be asked to go away but I know that God has a purpose for bringing Nigeria together and we shall remain one.”
Ahead of the 2015 general elections, Kumuyi urged the electorates to avoid religious and ethnic sentimental selection of leaders and vote in a candidate who is competent enough to pilot the affairs of the nation.
In addition, Kumuyi made a wake up call to Nigerians to partake in nation building and avoid destructive criticisms in order to ensure growth and further development of the nation
